Thermodynamic stability of histone H3 is a necessary but not sufficient driving force for its evolutionary conservation.
Determining the forces that conserve amino acid positions in proteins across species is a fundamental pursuit of molecular evolution. Evolutionary conservation is driven by either a protein's function or its thermodynamic stability. Highly conserved histone proteins offer a platform to evaluate...
